    Brooklyn’s first hospital is part of a downtown revival. The Brooklyn Hospital Center, founded in 1845, is experiencing a revival and comeback much like the booming downtown that surrounds it.

    ‘The good news just keeps on coming’ is a phrase from a recent memo sent to staff of The Brooklyn Hospital Center by President and CEO Gary Terrinoni. Since taking the helm of leadership at the hospital last year, Terrinoni has experienced substantial success in cultivating a growing national reputation for excellence. His most recent ‘good news’ memo to staff referred to a broad range of recognitions received in 2016, that reflect a commitment made by staff and leadership to provide quality, safety, and patient-driven care, “Our score reflects incredible work by the staff, unre-lenting dedication to serving patients and to advancing TBHC’s Blueprint for Financial and Operational Success,” said Terrinoni.

    Proudly local, TBHC continues to invest its resources here in Brook-lyn. The institution boasts Ambulatory Family Health Centers across the borough, including a newly constructed, modern medical facility in Flat-bush at 2244 Church Avenue, between Bedford and Flatbush Avenues, in addition to locations in Greenpoint, Bushwick, Williamsburg, Sunset Park, and the main hospital campus in Fort Greene. These Family Health Centers provide access to vital healthcare services for the whole family, including Primary Care, Women’s Health, Pediatrics, Podiatry, Cardiolo-gy, Gastroenterology, Dental Care, Infectious Disease and more.

    TBHC’s National Quality, Brooklyn Address slogan is based on the nu-merous quality awards it has garnered. It has been ranked among the top six of Brooklyn’s 15 hospitals for Quality Care and Improved Performance by The Leapfrog Group’s Patient Safety grade, recognized as a U.S. News & World Report High Performing Hospital in Heart Failure, a five-star Dialysis Center, a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, an American Heart Association Gold Plus Quality Achievement Awardee for Stroke Care, and American Heart Association Silver Plus Awardee for Heart Failure Care.

    In 2017 TBHC’s Ambulatory Family Health Centers were recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as Level 3 (highest) Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMH), another quality achievement demonstrating the institution’s commitment to high quality patient-cen-tered care. PCMH is a national model of primary care that includes in-creasing access, team-based care, integrating evidenced-based medicine into the electronic health record, care coordination, and performance improvement.

    TBHC’s tagline, Keeping Brooklyn Healthy embodies a steadfast com-mitment to being the provider of stellar, local health care services to all residents. With a focus on National Quality AND a Brooklyn Address, TBHC continues to serve the community it is proud to be a part of.

    Three ways heart disease can sneak up on you

    As Americans, our health is far from perfect, but over the decades, we’ve seen great improvements to medical care and lived longer lives. But new health data in a recent report might shake up our complacency: The federal government finds that life expectancy for Americans has dropped for the first time in 25 years.

    Though the factors are varied and complex, it has health experts and doctors taking a hard look at the current realities, including our rising obesity rate and the fact doctors may be reaching their limit on what they can do to treat heart disease.

    “The report, though troubling to any family doctor, can be used as the basis of a wake-up call to anyone to improve their health,” says Andrew Manganaro, MD, FACC, FACS, chief medical officer for Life Line Screening. “That is especially true for those who have been diagnosed with a risk factor for heart disease.”

    Manganaro urges patients ages 55 and older to be proac-tive with their heart health by scheduling regular doctor visits and following their doctor’s instructions. In addition, he rec-ommends making regular cardiovascular screenings a part of your wellness routine.

    Not convinced you need a screening? These three realities of cardiovascular health might change your mind.

    1. Heart disease is often silent. – Problems with the cardiovascu-lar system can creep in gradually. Fully 80 percent - four out of five - of people who have a stroke have no symptoms beforehand.

    High blood pressure, high cholesterol and coronary artery dis-ease are often silent, partly because the warning signs are not what most people expect. Symptoms are less obvious, such as a headache, shortness of breath or pain in the jaw. Even if you are already taking steps to manage your risk factors, a screening will give you and your doctor a picture of the health of your cardiovascular system.

    2. Minor conditions are easy to ignore. – Even if your screening doesn’t reveal you’re at a very high risk of suffering a stroke or heart attack, don’t be complacent. Because your cardiovascular system is interconnected, plaque in one artery makes it very possible that plaque will eventually show up elsewhere.

    For example, peripheral artery disease is a condition that is associ-ated with leg cramping, but that’s a diagnosis that should be taken as a warning. Because these leg arteries are literally narrowing, it could mean that the arteries to the brain could also narrow, creating the ideal conditions for a stroke. Likewise, if arteries to the heart were to narrow, that could lead to heart attack or heart failure.

    3. Oral health is a window to artery health. – For decades, re-searchers have seen a connection between oral health and heart health. Back in the 1920s for example, doctors thought they could cure heart disease by extracting teeth. While the connection is not yet fully understood, we do know oral plaque has a relationship to ca-rotid artery plaque. Manganaro encourages patients to also see their dentist regularly and take good care of their gums and teeth.

    February is American Heart Month. It was originally declared in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson to help people become aware of the many ways to improve their cardiovascular health. (BPT)

  • Patients without insurance in need of affordable healthcare. Limited access to immediate care leading to emergency depart-ment overcrowding. Shortage of primary care physicians limiting patient access to care. These are among the frequent headlines we see in the news every day, and they are what attracted Dr. Robert W. Malizia, MD, a board certified Emergency Physician, to form Ivy Urgent Care in August of 2012.

    The Ivy Urgent Care Mission. “I founded Ivy Urgent Care to provide the neighborhoods we serve with access to the highest level of immediate medical care, in a warm, inviting setting,” explains Dr. Malizia. “At Ivy, our mission is to provide our communities with a true alternative to hospital emergency departments for all but true life-threatening emergencies. In order to accomplish that, our phy-sicians are dedicated to providing a higher level of care than many other practices to keep people out of the ER who do not truly need to be there, while at the same time always focusing on identifying true emergencies to ensure they do make it to the hospital as quick-ly and safely as possible.”

    Ivy was founded on the principals of delivering world-class care and friendly customer service in a fast and efficient manner, says Dr. Malizia.

    At Ivy, it’s all about the people. “Poor bedside manner is one of the most common complaints patients have about physicians, and why so many avoid medical care, or do not comply with doctors’ orders,” says Dr. Malizia. “At Ivy, we foster a culture where our physicians and staff embrace being ‘everyday people.’”

    Ivy Urgent Care is a true Urgent Care. At Ivy Urgent Care we are staffed all hours solely with Board-Certified physicians from spe-cialties trained to care for acute illnesses in patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors; Emergency Physicians, Family Physicians, and double boarded Internists/Pediatricians,” says Dr. Malizia. “We can see anyone for anything at any time, and if we identify a true emer-gency, we will stabilize that patient, and get them to the hospital emergency department in the fastest, safest manner possible.”

    Proud affiliates of NYU Langone Medical Center. Since 2015, Ivy has been affiliated with NYU Langone Medical Center. “I want-ed to ensure that we were part of the finest hospital network in NYC, in order to provide world class emergency care and specialty follow-up care to our patients who need it. There is no finer institu-tion in our city than NYU,” explains Dr. Malizia.

    (BPT) - When a loved one is critically ill, hearing that it’s time for hospice care can be devastating news. On top of the emotional upheaval of coping with a terminal illness, you may be unsure what hospice care really is - and believe it’s just an indication your loved one will likely die.

    Yet, the time your loved one spends in hospice care doesn’t have to be sad - for anyone. In fact, says Toni Norman, the senior director of hospice operations for Brookdale Senior Living, hospice can be a deeply rewarding time of great comfort for patients and their families.

    “Hospice care is not about waiting for someone to die, and that’s unfortunately a very common misconception,” Norman says. “The goal of hospice is to provide to a patient, who has a life-limiting illness, the physical comfort and medical care they need to stay in their home for as long as possible, while at the same time supporting their caregivers. The hospice team helps families by educating, sup-porting and identifying any needs they have, ranging from chaplain support to finding mortuaries and veteran benefits.”

    The decision to begin hospice care is a communal one, with the patient, caregivers, loved ones and medical professionals contrib-uting to the dialogue. “A terminal diagnosis from a doctor usually begins the process of seeking hospice care,” Norman says. “Also, as a family member’s health begins to decline due to illness, conversa-tions about end-of-life care are proactive and compassionate.”

    Brookdale Senior Living’s hospice care providers often encoun-ter common misconceptions about hospice care. Norman offers the truth behind some mistaken beliefs:

    * Hospice is for the last few weeks of life. The hospice Medicare benefit is for the last six months, if the disease follows its normal course. “Most people who enter hospice have done so because they’ve received a diagnosis of a life-limiting illness,” Norman says. “But people who enter hospice often live longer, and with a better quality of life, than terminally ill people who do not go into hospice.

    Many are even able to come off hospice service if their condition improves.”

    * Hospice means giving up. Hospice is actually a commitment to a high level of care for a loved one. “It means making them as com-fortable and safe as possible so they may enjoy time with their loved ones for as long as possible,” Norman says.

    * Patients are heavily medicated. Patients receive medication un-der strict physician guidelines, and caregivers closely monitor com-fort care protocols so each patient’s pain and symptoms are uniquely managed.

    * Hospice patients can no longer see their doctors. Patients can continue to see any of their previous doctors. Rather than taking anything away, hospice adds a layer of medical support.

    * Hospice care ends when a patient dies. Because hospice cares for the patient’s caregivers and loved ones as well as the patient, hospice team members continue their support for 13 months after the patient passes away. The hospice team provides grief support for the families and will continue to work with them to address any lingering ques-tions, and to help identify their needs.

    “The hospice team is comprised of the assigned physician and nurses to provide the direct medical care to the patient, while a chap-lain, social worker and bereavement counselor provide additional support and education to families and caregivers,” Norman says.

    Hospice ideally occurs in a patient’s home, whether that’s a per-sonal residence or assisted living community. It is a Medicare-reim-bursed benefit, and most private insurance providers do also cover some hospice costs.

    “End-of-life care isn’t just about taking pain medications to relieve symptoms until death,” Norman says. “It helps people gain emotion-al strength and carry on with daily life, while improving the quality of life. The goal is to help patients and their families make every remain-ing moment as comfortable and enriching as possible.”

The nominations process can be accessed, online-only, at www.castlec-onnolly.com/nominations. The company’s physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening pro-cess of nominated physicians to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels. Careful screening

    of doctors’ educational and professional experience is essential before final selection is made among those physicians most highly regarded by their peers.

    The result - we identify the top doctors in America - and provide you, the consumer, with detailed information about their education, training and special expertise in our paperback guides, national and regional magazine “Top Doctors” features and online directories.

    Physicians selected for inclusion in this magazine’s “Top Doctors” feature may also appear as Regional Top Doc-tors online at www.castleconnolly.com, or in one of Cas-tle Connolly’s Top Doctors guides, such as America’s Top Doctors® or America’s Top Doctors® for Cancer.

    Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected and pro-filed as Castle Connolly Top Doctors.

    How to help protect babies From RSV, a common & contagious virus

    This time of year brings cold/flu season and the spread of germs. It’s especially important for parents and caregivers to keep this top of mind and be aware of seasonal illnesses that often circulate during winter.

    In particular, respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is a highly con-tagious and common virus contracted by nearly 100 percent of chil-dren by the age of two. RSV occurs in epidemics, typically from No-vember through March in most of the US, but the “RSV season” can vary by geography and from year to year.

    In many babies, the virus leads to a mild respiratory infection with symptoms similar to the common cold or flu, but can develop into a much more severe infection in high-risk infants including babies born prematurely (earlier than 35 weeks gestation). In fact, preterm infants are twice as likely as full-term infants to be admitted to the hospital for RSV-related symptoms.

    Dr. Paul Checchia, Professor of Pediatrics, Critical Care Medicine and Cardiology, Texas Children’s Hospital states, “RSV disease is the leading cause of hospitalization for babies during their first year of life in the United States and results in up to 10 times as many infant deaths each year than the flu. It’s critical for parents to keep a close eye on their infants and go to their pediatrician when they show signs of illness.”

    Dr. Checchia says the potential signs and symptoms of severe RSV disease that parents need to pay attention to are coughing or wheez-ing, fast or troubled breathing, spread-out nostrils and/or a caved-in chest when trying to breathe, bluish color around the mouth or fin-gernails, and a fever (especially if it is over 100.4°F [rectal]).

    Currently, there is no treatment for RSV disease, so taking the proper preventive methods is crucial to helping to protect your ba-by’s little lungs. Preventive methods include diligently washing your hands and asking others to do the same, avoiding those who may be sick during RSV season, and asking your child’s pediatrician if he or she may be at high risk for RSV disease and ways you can help protect a high-risk baby.

    For more information about RSV disease, visit www.RSVprotec-tion.com. Here you can find helpful tips on talking to your pedia-trician, data about the RSV season in your area, and real stories of families’ experiences with RSV disease.

    In 2003, several frontline community health organizations recognized that their clients living with HIV and AIDS needed a health plan with comprehensive health coverage and a care model that would address their unique health challenges. They came together to form a mission-driven not-for-profit health plan – AMIDA CARE.

    The AMIDA CARE team is recognized for their expertise in reaching and caring for people with difficult circumstances and complex health care needs. Their unique, holistic approach to health care deals with every member on three levels: physical, mental, and emotional. This integrated care model is the hallmark of Amida Care’s personalized approach.

    “Health care is much more than medicine and doctors’ visits. If we can help people with the full range of factors that affect their health, which often include housing, employment, and transportation, we can help them get on with the business of living well and contributing to their community,” says Amida Care CEO Doug Wirth. “This focus on wellness is one of the reasons we host monthly “Live Your Life” member events in boroughs throughout New York City, offering classes including yoga, meditation, dance and healthy cooking.”

    AMIDA CARE also advocates for policies and initiatives that support health and social justice through close involvement in initiatives such as the New York State Blueprint to End the AIDS Epidemic by 2020. One particular area of focus is reducing the spread of HIV in populations disproportionately affected, which includes young men of color who have sex with men (MSM) and the transgender community.

    Amida Care’s Medicaid Live Life Plus special needs health plan (SNP) is the largest in New York, with an extensive network of health care providers throughout the five boroughs. Please visit www.AmidaCareNY.org for more information about plan benefits and eligibility.

    Over 50? You’re at increased risk for shinglesA few years ago, a Harris Interactive-spon-

    sored poll found that Americans consider 50 to be the “perfect age” to live forever in good health. For many, the half century mark can be a time when experience and opportunity balance perfectly - as told by the saying “50 is the new 30.” At 50, there may be more time to spend on your hobbies or other activities that interest you.

    At 50, the last thing anyone would want is to be blindsided by illness. Yet risks of cer-tain medical conditions increase with age. For example, shingles is a condition caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox - a virus that 98 percent of adults have had ac-cording to the U.S. Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention (CDC).

    Even after recovery from chickenpox, the virus never leaves the body. At some point later in life, it can unexpectedly reactivate and emerge as shingles - a painful blistering rash that can last for 30 days.

    When Edwin DePeiza discovered he had shingles, he learned the meaning of the ad-age: “You don’t miss something until it’s gone.” DePeiza, who is in his 60s and resides in Massachusetts, first noticed a burning sensation on his torso. By the time he saw his doctor, a rash had developed. Upon see-

    ing the rash, his doctor quickly diagnosed it as shingles.

    DePeiza, a passionate guitar player, witnessed how shingles can inter-rupt the moments that matter in life. His guitar playing had taken him all over the world, but the intense pain of shin-gles forced him to put his passion on hold.

    According to the CDC, one in three peo-ple will get shingles in their lifetime, and every year, about one mil-lion cases are diagnosed in the United States. Adults aged 50 and older are especially at risk for shingles, as the risk increases with age due to naturally declining immune sys-tems. There is no way to tell who will get shingles, nor how severe the case will be.

    Shingles most commonly surfaces on a single side of the torso, but it can appear anywhere on the body - even the face. For most people, after the shingles rash and blis-ters heal, the pain and itch subside - though some people may experience permanent

    scarring even after the rash heals.In some cases, shingles can cause compli-

    cations like postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), a long- term nerve pain that can last for months or even years after the blisters heal and the rash disappears.

    Speaking with a healthcare professional to understand one’s personal risk for shin-gles is important. Learn more about Edwin’s shingles experience, and talk to your doctor or pharmacist about a vaccine that can help prevent shingles. For more information go to www.ShinglesInfo.com. (BPT)

    BRAIN HEALTH5 smart steps to preserving brain health

    Everyone knows aerobic exercise gets the heart pumping and lifting weights keeps muscles strong. But when it comes to keeping the brain healthy, most people are unsure what to do.

    As you age, brain health and maintaining memory func-tions becomes a top concern. Turns out, these issues may be-gin sooner than you think.

    “We tend to think about memory decline as an older per-son’s issue, but that’s not the case at all,” says Dr. Aimee Gould Shunney, a licensed naturopathic doctor specializing in wom-en’s health and family medicine. “There was a study published in 2012 in the British Medical Journal that examined cogni-tive function in people age 45 to 70. The researchers did not expect it, but they found evidence of cognitive decline in the 45-year-old participants as well as the older participants.”

    She notes there are two basic pathological processes that cause degeneration of the brain: oxidative stress and inflam-mation. Basically, the standard American diet and lifestyle contrib-ute to those processes. So who is this really an issue for? Men and women of all ages.

    No matter your age, you can take charge of your brain health by following these five smart steps from Dr. Shunney:

    HEALTHY EATING“A Mediterranean-type diet that focuses on whole foods, good

    fats and foods high in antioxidants is a great place to start,” says Dr. Shunney.

    She encourages her patients to focus on getting omega-3 fats from fish and monounsaturated fats from olives, olive oil, nuts and seeds. She also recommends increasing fruits (especially berries) and beans (they’re packed with antioxidants). What’s more, research shows a little cocoa, coffee and red wine can act as antioxidants and are ben-eficial in low to moderate amounts.

    SUPPLEMENTSIn addition to a quality multivitamin, Dr. Shunney recommends an

    omega-3 supplement. “Getting enough omega-3s is one of the most important measures we can take,” she says. “DHA is the dominant omega-3 in the brain. Just like we need to make sure babies have enough DHA to grow their brain, we need to make sure older people get enough DHA to keep their brains healthy.”

    She suggests Omega Memory by Nordic Naturals. It’s a DHA-dom-inant omega-3 formula that also includes other brain healthy ingredi-ents: curcumin, phosphatidylcholine and huperzine A. Learn more at www.nordicnaturals.com.

    REGULAR SLEEPPoor sleep is a risk factor for cognitive decline. “Studies show

    both sleep deprivation and sleeping too much impact cognitive per-formance,” Dr. Shunney says. “A good goal is to go to bed around the same time each night, sleep for 7-8 hours, and get up around the same time every morning.”

    THINKING ACTIVITIES“I recommend anything that keeps your mind working,” says Dr.

    Shunney. “Activities that require things to be arranged or puzzles that have to be put together. Crossword puzzles, word games and board games are all great.”

    She also notes some activities to avoid: “It’s important to limit cer-tain activities. The constant scanning of social media and newsfeeds eliminates creativity and keeps us on edge. Limit the time you spend doing that and instead do things that cause you to explore and think and put ideas together on your own.”

    SOCIALIZE“Social isolation has been linked with cognitive decline,” says Dr.

    Shunney. “In one study, people who were lonely experienced cog-nitive decline at a 20 percent faster rate than people who were not lonely.”

    Make time to take a foreign language class, join a Toastmaster’s Club, take a watercolor class - anything that connects you regularly to other people.
